This study is directed at library research and data collection is carried out using documentation methods sourced from documents relevant to the problem being studied. The analysis used is content analysis. The conclusion of this study is that the process of formulating and structuring Islamic family law in Tunisia is not merely an effort to codify (book) Maliki school of jurisprudence, but also takes progressive and revolutionary steps in an effort to legalize and regulate administration in the legal field, particularly Family Law.
